Houston Rockets announce five roster cuts

The Houston Rockets have been trying to trim their roster but, given the amount of minutes starters have been playing, it seems like the Rockets have had an idea already of who was in and who was out. The original training camp roster included 20 names though only 15 are allowed to make the final team.

GM Daryl Morey announced today that the team has waived George de Paula, Chris Johnson, Tim Quarterman and Isaiah Taylor. Both Johnson and Taylor have been getting solid minutes during preseason so their cuts are a bit surprising. This means that Bobby Brown and Troy Williams won the depth battles as they’re still on the roster.

Zhou Qi and Chinanu Onuaku both are on the roster right now and will each also serve for depth purposes. The Rockets will play their final preseason game tonight against the San Antonio Spurs.
